I've noticed an entry in "TOP" that I don't remember seeing before, nor is it listed in the man pages. In the memory section there is a display called "active" and inactive", that lists the size of memory for these two. What is inactive memory? What's the difference between used memory and active memory? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
